I DIYed a ‘Christmas present topiary’ for my house – people say I’m out of control & compare me to Martha May Whovier
A STYLE enthusiast has shown off her design skills with a DIY present topiary for her home.
Some people said she was out of control, while others praised her for her resemblance to a popular character from a Christmas classic film.
Macy Blackwell (@macy.blackwell) shows unique ways to amp up your holiday home decor.
In a TikTok video, she showed viewers how she created a fun decorative statement piece for inside and outside your house.
The blonde beauty began the construction process in her home as she wore a white crewneck hoodie, light wash jeans, and Uggs.
First, she cemented a six-foot stick in a flower pot and let it harden in place.
She then found three large boxes that were 18×18, 16×16, and 12×12 in size.
Next, she covered them in wrapping paper but suggested that Christmas-colored tablecloths were also a good choice.
Macy then showed viewers how she stacked three different boxes on top of each through a hole in each.
At the end of the video, she swapped out her casual attire for a Mrs. Claus-themed look, complete with a red dress with white feathers and black boots.
The stacked presents blended well with her outdoor decorations which included large ornaments and a large reindeer statue.
“They went perfect with our Christmas Eve-themed porch!” she wrote in the video caption.
